12 marzo 1947 anni - Truman Doctrine

Descrizione:

Harry S. Truman asked for Greece and Turkey to prevent communist domination of the two nations. He reads a speech to Congress about the people of Greece and Turkey needing their help to fight for their democracy, asking for 400 million dollars in assistance. The Truman Doctrine was a declaration of the Cold War, with Truman's address outlining the parameters of their cold war policy and to protect nations from communism and their aggression. This speech convinced many people that the US is in a great struggle with the Soviet Union. This is a continuation towards the belief that the United States has a duty to help rebuild the world.
